<\/a>The First Man is a different creation than anything that preceded it. He is the only one that was created from the actual\u00a0Malchut de Ein Sof<\/em>, and is therefore the only one that can be called a “real” creature. He too was created by\u00a0Malchut de Atzilut<\/em>, which rose to\u00a0AVI<\/em>. She\u00a0(Malchut<\/em>) created\u00a0Partzuf\u00a0Adam ha Rishon<\/em>\u00a0just as she had created the worlds of\u00a0BYA<\/em>. Consequently,\u00a0Adam ha Rishon\u00a0<\/em>is always inside the worlds of\u00a0BYA<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The worlds of BYA<\/em> were created standing at AVI,<\/em> and continued down to the “Chazeh <\/em>of the place of the world of Yetzira<\/em>,” with Adam ha Rishon <\/em>contained in them. When born, he was at the height of all three worlds of BYA<\/em> and received from BYA<\/em> the Lights of Nefesh<\/em>, Ruach<\/em>, Neshama <\/em>(NRN<\/em>). Adam ha Rishon <\/em>received additional Lights \u2013 NRN d<\/em>e Atzilut<\/em>, because BYA<\/em> were in Atzilut<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The state of the worlds at the time of the birth of Adam ha Rishon <\/em>is called the Erev Shabbat<\/em> (Friday morning). Then, by an awakening from Above, the worlds rose one degree (meaning ten Sefirot<\/em>) along with Adam ha Rishon<\/em>, so that the end of BYA<\/em> rose along with Adam ha Rishon<\/em> to the “Chazeh<\/em> of the place of the world of Beria<\/em>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In that situation, Adam ha Rishon <\/em>wanted to receive all the Lights in order to bestow, as it was before the breaking of the vessels in the world of Nekudim<\/em>. But back in Nekudim<\/em>, Rosh <\/em>of AVI<\/em> didn\u2019t understand that ZON<\/em> were not corrected, and hence gave them Lights of Gadlut.<\/em> Consequently, ZON<\/em>broke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That understanding was lacking here with Adam ha Rishon <\/em>as well, but the difference from the first breaking, as after the first reception, an innocent mistake on the part of Adam ha Rishon<\/em>, he wanted to receive a second time. This time he was aware that it was a sin (an act of reception in order to receive, but he could no longer stop himself from receiving for self-pleasure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hence, this breaking produced the shells \u2013 the desires to receive in order to receive. The worlds of BYA<\/em> fell below Parsa<\/em> to their permanent state, from Parsa<\/em> to the end of Galgalta<\/em>. The \u201cpermanent state\u201d is called by that name because there cannot be any lower state than that for the worlds of BYA<\/em>. But they are not fixed in this place; they do have a possibility to go up and back down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides the descent of BYA<\/em> to their permanent place, as a result of the breaking of Adam ha Rishon<\/em>, the impure worlds of BYA<\/em> were created as well. They consist of the weaknesses and stand opposite BYA<\/em>. Because of that, BYA<\/em> are clear of any will to receive and are therefore named the \u201cHoly BYA<\/em>.\u201d Their opposite worlds are therefore named the \u201cimpure BYA<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The impure worlds (shells) are called:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
